Pak-US Ties: Bogged Down in Non-Issues

摘要

These days Pakistan's relations with America are going through an interesting phase. Election season in both the countries is casting its shadows on bilateral dealings. Leadership of both the countries is playing to the public sentiment. Both the countries are consumed by rhetoric on non-issues. Narratives and counter narratives are making the landscape hazy, yet discernible. America which is generally forthcoming in apologizing over its shortcomings is withholding to do so in Salalah attack case and Pakistan which is usually prompt in facilitating America is keeping the supply lines shut; though its ill effects are being largely offset through Afghan Transit trade.
